Essentially the same article in both the Patriot News and the Beaver County Times. The article is about the potential Heisman candidacy of Tyler Palko. Boy, is this being overblown. It was a filler/list article that shouldn’t have been taken as seriously as it is. The latter is has a few more paragraphs and some quotes from Coach Dave Wannstedt. I listed both because it’s amusing to note the small differences to appeal to the local audience. In talking about Palko, the Harrisburg version shoehorns this into the mix, “whose father will be this year’s Pennsylvania coach in the annual Big 33 game in Hershey.” Just little things you start to notice.

Bruce Feldman, ESPN’s college football blog notes the article that Brandon Mason might be the leading candidate at running back.

Mason’s numbers (17 for 40) didn’t quite indicate a dominant performance, but given how inept Wannstedt’s backs were in Miami last season, at least the sophomore showed flashes of SOMETHING.

Practices resume tomorrow.
